February 18, 2013 is Drink Wine Day

Today is Drink Wine Day! Pop the cork and enjoy a 
refreshing glass of Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot, Shiraz, 
or Zinfandel in honor of the occasion!

People have been producing wine since at least 6000 B.C
There are dozens of ancient legends about humans who 
accidentally consumed fermented grapes and became in-
toxicated, which is probably how wine was first conceived
Eventually, people began experimenting with the fermentation 
process. The methods for making wine spread from the region
of Mesopotamia to Egypt, Greece, Rome, France, Spain, 
and eventually the New World. Today, over 20 million acres
of the earth’s surface are dedicated to growing grapes for wine.

Studies have shown that drinking a glass of wine a day improves heart health, reduces forgetfulness, boosts immunity, & increases 
bone density. Cheers!
